MIT retinal implant could help restore some vision
MIT engineers have designed a retinal implant for people who have lost their vision from retinitis pigmentosa or age-related macular degeneration, two of the leading causes of blindness. view more (2009-09-24)
Graphitic memory techniques advance at Rice
Advances by the Rice University lab of James Tour have brought graphite's potential as a mass data storage medium a step closer to reality and created the potential for reprogrammable gate arrays that could bring about a revolution in integrated circuit logic design. view more (2009-09-10)
Implementing Computer Assisted Learning into the Chemistry Curriculum
The idea of using a computer as a pedagogic device is not new. However, until recently, hardware and software costs put computer assisted learning (CAL) out of the reach of many academics. In addition, early courseware paid little attention to human-computer interface issues, resulting in CAL which was difficult to use and understand. There are... view more... (1999-05-17)
Novel DNA microarray chip predicts functional impairment and remission in rheumatoid arthritis
A new DNA microarray chip can predict severe disability and remission in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), as presented today at EULAR 2008, the Annual Congress of the European League Against Rheumatism in Paris, France. The chip (called the 'ARTchip') has yielded two clinical-genetic models of RA outcomes, to assist physicians in... view more... (2008-06-16)
Lab-on-a-chip could speed up treatment of drug-resistant pneumonia
The emergency treatment of drug-resistant infections with targeted antibiotics is often delayed by the need to identify bacterial strains by growing them in culture first. view more (2006-11-15)
One million trillion 'flops' per second targeted by new Institute for Advanced Architectures
Preparing groundwork for an exascale computer is the mission of the new Institute for Advanced Architectures, launched jointly at Sandia and Oak Ridge national laboratories. view more (2008-02-22)
'Virus chip' detects new virus in prostate tumors
UCSF and Cleveland Clinic scientists have discovered a new virus in human prostate tumors. The type of virus, closely related to viruses typically found in mice, has never been detected in humans. view more (2006-02-27)
Breakthrough Chip Delivers Better Digital Pictures For Less Power
The next advance in cameras is becoming a reality at the University of Rochester. Imaging chips revolutionized the photography industry, and now the chips themselves are being revolutionized. view more (2005-12-08)
Researchers design copper connections for high-speed computing
As computers become more complex, the demand increases for more connections between computer chips and external circuitry such as a motherboard or wireless card. And as the integrated circuits become more advanced, maximizing their performance requires better connections that operate at higher frequencies with less loss. view more (2008-02-12)
Paper-Thin Compound-Eye Camera
The focal length of a lens means that a camera has to have a certain thickness - or so we might think. Insect eyes show that this need not be the case: A camera chip based on the compound-eye principle can be used for person recognition and is as thin as paper. If people were insects, books on optics would certainly look different. The camera... view more... (2004-07-08)
Proteomics on a chip
'Golden approach' human proteine classification Proteomics on a chip Knowledge of the human proteome may provide us with even more insight than knowledge of DNA. This 'protein blueprint' of a human contains valuable information about cell properties and disease causes. A single cell, however, already consists of several thousands of proteines. To... view more... (2002-06-18)
Nanotubes act as 'thermal Velcro' to reduce computer-chip heating
Engineers have created carpets made of tiny cylinders called carbon nanotubes to enhance the flow of heat at a critical point where computer chips connect to cooling devices called heat sinks, promising to help keep future chips from overheating. view more (2006-05-03)
Tiny 'Lab-on-a-Chip' Can Detect Pollutants, Disease and Biological Weapons
For centuries, animals have been our first line of defense against toxins. A canary in a coalmine served as a living monitor for poisonous gases. Scientists used fish to test for contaminants in our water. Even with modern advances, though, it can take days to detect a fatal chemical or organism. view more (2009-02-18)
Breaking barriers with nanoscale lasers
We could soon see the potential of laser technology expand dramatically. Ways to make lasers smaller are being discovered through collaborative efforts of researchers at Arizona State University and Technical University of Eindhoven in the Netherlands. view more (2009-07-29)
Radical 'Ballistic Computing' Chip Bounces Electrons Around Like Billiards
Computer designers at the University of Rochester are going ballistic. view more (2006-08-21)
People only eat 1 when the chips are brown
Dr. Don Henne isn't wasting his degree when he's standing by the deep fryer waiting for potato slices to turn brown. He's conducting research that will help the potato industry and consumers. view more (2008-07-17)
Moving a bit nearer to a quantum computer
By the time you`ve had your new computer for six months, much faster processors will already be on the market. But there is a limit to how fast conventional computers can become. This is because computers process information in a step-by-step fashion, carrying out each part of the process in turn. To make things work really fast, we need to build... view more... (2002-07-23)
UCLA researchers create 'fly paper' to capture circulating cancer cells
Just as fly paper captures insects, an innovative new device with nano-sized features developed by researchers at UCLA is able to grab cancer cells in the blood that have broken off from a tumor. view more (2009-11-19)
The future of computing -- carbon nanotubes and superconductors to replace the silicon chip
The future of computing is under the spotlight at the Institute of Physics' Condensed Matter and Materials Physics conference at the Royal Holloway College of the University of London on 26-28 March. view more (2008-03-28)
Liquid cooling with microfluidic channels helps computer processors beat the heat
A new technique for fabricating liquid cooling channels onto the backs of high-performance integrated circuits could allow denser packaging of chips while providing better temperature control and improved reliability. view more (2005-06-21)
